Please be in prayer for the safety and protection for all of our armed forces and supporting personnel in Iraq. I understand that Saddam's trial is coming to a close, and that with sentencing to follow, there may be another surge of violence.

My nephew, Andy (Sgt. John Andrew Baird) is currently stationed in or near Baghdad. To my knowledge he is not a Christian. Please keep him in your prayers as well - I know there are many on the receiving end of these news letters that have loved ones in Iraq.

I am waiting on news about a particular job and will send another quick update as soon as I know something definite.

You can start using my new email at any time:

The "mtwsa.org" email should also be good at least through November 2006.

Thank you and more news to come!
